This self-interested robot built by MIT students finally addresses the tragic shortage of selfish pricks in bars across America. The parents of those students must be feeling pretty good about their investment in their children's edumacation.

that bot would be a major improvement over most of the human males at the local bars in Boston.
I'm not sure. I don't know that the robot has all the, er, peripherals that the human males have. Although, the robot does engage in insipid small talk long enough to ask for for beer money. Still there are certain upsides, like the bot apparently stores the beer it "consumes," which could be consumed again by a human (as nasty as that sounds).
